Diversity:
Being a Jesuit university a certain type of person is attracted to. While there is a wide range of ages and ethnicity we are all fairly similar when it comes to personal views and lifestyles.

Student Author OverviewWhat's this?

Regis University is not the most diverse place on the planet. Most students are female, white, and age 25 and over. Unfortunately, there aren't many clubs or organizations advocating diversity, either.

Even though Regis is a Catholic university, there are pro-gay groups like Education Regarding Orientation and Sexuality (EROS).

Political Activity

Most students tend to be liberal; however, peers will never have these beliefs forced upon them. There are some demonstrations on campus, but nothing over the top, and for those students that are conservative, there is an active College Republicans club on campus.

Economic Status

Regis is on the expensive side in terms of colleges, since it is a private Catholic school, so many students are from private Catholic high schools (which means that they usually come from money). However, Colorado gives high school students great in-state tuition, so there are some students that come from a lower-economic status.

Most Common Religions

There is a diverse range of religious affiliations, but the most common is Christianity. Christian groups will do demonstrations over the course of the year, but they are not in your face about their beliefs.
